A question for youth baseball coaches, "Would you rather be thought of as a winning coach, or a coach that has a well coached team?" Of course, sometimes they go hand in hand, but not always. Teams that have the most talent usually win, but are not necessarily that well-coached. Some coaches recruit, choose, or simply have the best players, which lead them to become winning coaches, without having to add much coaching. Additionally, only one team wins the championships, but that does not mean all the other coaches are losers. After explaining the difference between the "winning coach" and being a coach of a well-coached team, the coaches agree they prefer to be known as the latter, if they cannot be both, of course. Good coaching may or may not lead to winning, but it always leads to a well-coached team. One of the best coaching compliments is, "Your team is well coached."
